Chapter 386 The secret was almost revealed
It was another early morning, and the people who got up early and were busy asking for a living gradually began to move on the streets. From time to time, discussions about the fire outside the city a few days ago would be heard at the breakfast stalls.
It is said that the army set fire to a mountain, and the flames shot up into the sky. Even in the middle of the night, many people saw it with their own eyes.
There is no entertainment in this era, and any bad news will arouse public opinion. What's more, such a big news has already become the top trending topic in the city.
The initial rumors were normal. They accidentally set fire to the mountain when setting off firecrackers, or a tree demon who was struck by thunder and lightning during the winter and so on.
But when it was learned that it was the army that set the fire, the rumors took a strange turn.
Some people say that there is a big monster on the mountain, some say that there is an ancient tomb on the mountain, and some say that the mountain is burned to celebrate the Chinese New Year...
The official notice actually made it very clear that the officers and soldiers were moving to suppress bandits.
The people chose not to believe it.
It is normal for the army to be responsible for suppressing bandits, but if there are few bandits, they can just send people up the mountain to arrest them. There is no need to make such a big noise. Otherwise, it means that there are many bandits.
But bandits don't appear out of thin air. At the beginning, they must be just a few people who can't survive and become bandits, and slowly gather more and more people.
And I haven't heard of any place around Liangcheng where the people were unable to survive the disaster and turned into bandits. Even if it was extended to the Liuzhou Kingdom, the weather has been quite good these years.
If they are refugees from other countries, then with such a large number of bandits crossing the border, will the officers and soldiers be blind?
Therefore, even though it was officially announced, no one believed it at all.
Of course, the government doesn't care much about whether you believe it or not. You can just gossip if you want. The government has only strengthened patrols and supervision, especially the inspection of people who behave suspiciously and have the appearance of the Western Regions.
After this battle, the largest Tianlang Sect stronghold in Liuzhou was uprooted, and a large number of believers were either burned to death or became prisoners of the army. The government was very satisfied with this result.
As for the Jianghu people, it can be said to be average.
The casual people were very happy, feeling that they had truly participated in major events in the world and were considered famous.
But when the disciples of the big sect, especially the masters leading the team, gathered together to discuss, the expressions on their faces seemed not very beautiful, especially when the object of discussion was Liu Tianquan's body.
Yang Yiyi expressed panic.
After taking care of Liu Tianquan, Yang Yiyi carefully checked to make sure that nothing of hers had been dropped at the scene. Before leaving, she kicked away her own footprints.
However, when Yang Yiyi came back with the large army and was waiting for the doctor to come to treat his injuries, he saw someone coming back holding Liu Tianquan's body.
Even though it was placed in the cave, it could still be found.
Yang Yiyi panicked at that time, fearing that someone would find out something related to her from the corpse.
But Li Chengqi had told her not to panic if someone brought Liu Tianquan's body back, just pretend to be curious and look around with the others, and don't worry about anything else.
Yang Yiyi was very worried that they would find her hair and the like from Liu Tianquan's body. After all, she had used the Iron Head Kung Fu on Liu Tianquan, but fortunately this did not happen. A few people just gathered around Liu Tianquan's body to study it. , didn't seem to notice that Yang Yiyi was panicking.
The cave where the body was located was connected to the secret room in the main hall of the village, and the entrance to the secret room had not been closed from beginning to end, so it was only a matter of time before it was discovered.
But to be honest, when the body was brought back, Li Chengqi felt a little regretful. Living animals are not allowed in the Sumeru Realm. I don’t know if corpses will work. I should have tried it at that time. However, the fire was almost burning at that time and might burn the rope left behind when going up the mountain. Li Chengqi hurriedly told Yang Yiyi to run away. , I didn’t expect this at all, it’s just a piece of cake.
If it weren't for his physical condition, Li Chengqi might have asked Yang Yiyi to drag Liu Tianquan's body out and throw it into the fire, which would be better than staying where he was.
Liu Tianquan's body was discovered, which is a little more troublesome than whether he was alive or dead but his body was not seen.
Anyone can see that the big hole in Liu Tianquan's chest is a fatal injury, and it can also be seen that such a high-temperature attack that burns the heart to ashes cannot be done by martial arts, plus the location where the body was found.
What will the Liu family think after receiving the above information?
They may think that a guy who had a grudge against the Liu family and had a unique hidden weapon killed Liu Tianquan.
Although the Liu family has dog coins, their reputation in the world is not low. They have never had any enemies. If they are not overt, then they are secretly.
And when it comes to enemies related to things behind the scenes...
They were the young women who had recently escaped from prison.
In other words, the Liu family may associate Liu Tianquan's body with the suspects being the women who escaped at that time, including Yang Yiyi.
It will definitely take a long time for the Liu family to narrow down the scope, but Yang Yiyi, as a suspect, is definitely not running away.
With the girl's current ability, it would be difficult for Liu Tianquan to handle it alone. If the Liu family came with a large army, it would be troublesome.
But this is the worst possibility. A few months ago, a man who was just a prisoner suddenly had a high-powered weapon that could shoot people through. He even took the opportunity to kill Liu Tianquan when he was alone. It's hard to believe that something like this could happen.
At most, the Liu family has just heightened their vigilance, and may attribute Liu Tianquan's death to the Sirius Sect. The possibility of directly suspecting Yang Yiyi is still very low.
It's just that Yang Yiyi is not good at lying, and she can't hide anything on her face. Fortunately, there were a lot of injured knights and knights gathered together waiting for the doctor to treat them. Yang Yiyi was really inconspicuous among them, so no one noticed.
For Yang Yiyi, it was just panic, but for the Liu family who came with Liu Tianquan, they all felt like they were mourning for their heirs, and they were probably worried about how to go back and explain to the head of the family.
They did not stay at the stronghold of Sixteenth Village for long. The next day, they were wrapped in bandages and prepared to transport Liu Tianquan's body back to the Liu family.
There was no refrigeration technology these days, and the bodies would stink if they were not transported back as soon as possible. They wanted to leave as soon as it was cold.
Taoist Priest Qingjingzi of Yunzhong Temple and Master Xuanci of Jingci Temple also specially performed rituals for them, reciting the mantra of rebirth and other things to express their feelings. Various people from all walks of life also sent eulogies to express their condolences, which meant to express their condolences. You are so good to die.
The Liu family took the body and left. Yang Yiyi saw that the Jianghu knight who was slightly injured chose to say goodbye and planned to leave.
But Li Chengqi specifically told her, don't worry, stay here for two days first, and wait until the Liu family has completely gone away before you choose to leave, so as not to do anything like not having three hundred taels of silver here.
After all, according to the doctor's diagnosis, Yang Yiyi suffered serious internal injuries. It would be suspicious to run away without waiting for the internal injuries to heal.
So this girl lived a life in the stronghold of Sixteenth Village without leaving the front door or stepping out of the door. She was provided with meals and meals, and she rarely left the room at all.
The main reason was that Yang Yiyi, who was in a panic, was afraid that her secret would be exposed when she came into contact with others. In that case, she would be numb.
It’s really cowardly and a little cute...
